“Shooting Stars” at the Met

By Djelloul Marbrook

Irene Rice Pereira’s masterpiece, Shooting Stars, is hanging in the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of The Metropolitan Museum. In the same gallery are works by Jean Arp, Roberto Matta and Pablo Picasso. The installation of this magnificent oil on glass constitutes a restoration of Pereira to the pantheon and a victory for feminists. See other Pereiras at the Metropolitan Museum on the Gallery page.
